Celebrating the New Year. An Unexpected Encounter in the County Town

Upon closer inspection, that "shrub" was no shrub at all, but another assassin, and the "branch" was simply that assassin's unorthodox weapon.

"Brother Regnar!" At the very last moment, Irene could only place her hope in the person she had always believed in.

Time seemed to freeze at that exact moment. Regnar stared blankly as Nidhogg's hand protruded from Rebecca's back. Something was clutched within that hand, and bright, fresh blood continuously dripped from it. Regnar's mind went completely blank, and then a chaotic jumble of memories flashed before his eyes.

In other words, the clone Crimson King had a strength that had almost reached the level of a First-Rank Wizard.

Night Maple and Big Black's attacks came in an endless stream, each one fiercer than the last. As the saying goes, one wrong move leads to every move being wrong. Underworld General Wade fell completely into a passive quagmire, dodging desperately left and right, and sustaining injuries was merely a matter of time.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" A look of intense excitement appeared on Snow's face. He dropped to his knees on both feet, kowtowing repeatedly to the figure ahead.

Chen Xu's eyes gradually brightened; he had finally found a clue as to how to manufacture the world-resistance vaccine.

Ultimately, after examining it up and down carefully several times, they discovered that their names were actually ranked right at the very end?

However, the result came far too late. They watched as a family member standing beside the teleportation array began to chant an incantation. Within mere seconds, Night Maple's figure standing on the array gradually blurred until it completely vanished.

Opening his eyes, Li Hai sat up by conditioned reflex, but his vision was filled with an endless expanse of silvery white. The boundless whiteness left him momentarily dizzy, and he almost lapsed back into unconsciousness right then and there.

Didn't they just say that their Elder Wang was incomparable to that President Mo? Why was the one driven out and blacklisted himself instead of Gu Mengmeng?

He walked into the bathroom, searched around, and finally fixed his gaze on the faucet of the washbasin.

Inside the chambers of the Old Madame of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, Li Miaoxian's face was flushed red. Furong was still kneeling on the ground, her expression having returned to normal. It was unclear what she had just said, but at that moment she was looking up at the Old Madame, her eyes filled with boundless hope.

They had been stationed at Heaven Port for a long time. In the subsequent skirmishes, they had only wasted a few bullets, and all their investment items were still on their persons.

A crisp sound echoed from the red Ferrari, and instantly, two streams of bizarre energy burst forth from the car's headlights, injecting themselves into the void.

The generation and intertwining of these emotions and thoughts occurred in merely a flash. I realized that finding myself in such a posture and state left me utterly caught off guard and powerless to reverse the situation.

After looking around, Wei Yishui selected the "Training Base," which lay directly on the flight path and right in the center of the entire map.

This was a situation with virtually no hiding spots; all nine competitors across the three present teams could see everything with crystal clarity.

"You're courting death! Slap!" Long Chen finally lost his patience and slapped her directly across the face. At that moment, Celenna and the others happened to arrive.

The expression on Aunt Fang's face barely held together. A concubine being elevated to a legal wife—but why?

Dusk had arrived, and yet there was still no sign of Yao Ran and the others, though some traces had been found right when they first entered the mountains. However, after those traces, nothing more was discovered.

"Oppa told us to practice the dance for the new title track as early as possible..." Tiffany foolishly repeated Zhang Yang's words over and over in her heart, while her beautiful smiling eyes grew brighter and brighter.

At that, he, Hu Nai, and the others dismounted. After verifying their identities and stating their purpose, the dispatch rider cupped his fists, uttered a brief "Wait a moment," and turned to enter the interior.

Yet the man before her presented a world she had never seen before—a world she previously thought she was already familiar with and fully understood.

Kael'thas Sunstrider woke up very early, just as he usually did in Dalaran and Silvermoon City, possessing astonishing vigor despite being a High Elf.

"General!" Lor'themar's expression instantly shifted, and he hurriedly pulled a mana crystal from his pocket.

At this moment, the stage lights blazed once more, and Zhou Mo's figure appeared upon the colossal stage.

"Tiangong Star City—what is Tiangong?" He recognized the characters, but all common knowledge had become a complete blank.

"These are demons from the Twisting Nether, Felhounds!" Jaina said with a solemn expression, leaving one thing unsaid: these demons possessed a high degree of suppression against mages, because magical energy itself was their food, and the hide covering their bodies also boasted extremely high magic resistance.

Differences aside, the sheer power possessed by Fengming City still struck extreme terror into the hearts of every nation and region.

Rebecca looped her arm through his, resting her cheek against his upper arm, smiling silently. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at him, appreciating his three-dimensional, handsome facial features.

Even though she had laid a very solid foundation in just a few days, she still wanted to practice more; consolidating her fundamentals was the most important thing. She disliked forcing growth by pulling on the shoots. Though her starting point was later than others', she was in no rush for quick success; she intended to walk forward step by step.

Su Yingxue thought that if even a fool like her could enter Shengqian Academy, the previous reputation of being good-for-nothing would be washed away. Besides, she was also the Crown Prince's fiancée; if her reputation improved, the members of the imperial family would surely be pleased to see it.

Just these alone amounted to so many volumes; she could hardly imagine how many more had been discarded after being rejected by Grandma Jiang?

Though Nadal could not understand the words, he knew they couldn't be a compliment. He let out a cold snort. "Watch out, I'm going to attack again!" Bei Douxing said as he raised his left fist and struck outward once more.

Hearing him put it that way, the young woodcutter also began to examine the lion closely. The male lion's expression was surprisingly gentle, lacking the ferocious appearance of the tiger from earlier.

Luo Xia was on the verge of tears. She had already activated it countless times, but why wasn't the sound-transmission talisman responding at all? Could it be that the talisman was broken?

Instantly, the hair-trigger atmosphere was broken, directly forming a battlefield consisting of twelve people on one side and eighteen on the other.
